Season Two
The Child in Our Midst
Asking for a Friend: Questions about Kids & Church.
Welcome to season two!
Season 2 of The Child in Our Midst is titled Asking for a Friend: Questions about Kids & Church, and we’re tackling questions like:
“What really matters for my kids’ faith?”
“What do I do if my kid thinks church is boring?”
“Why is it so hard to get ready for church?”
With our guests, we’ll explore what lies behind these questions and what they reveal to us about ourselves and our values, and after we’ve done all of that, we’ll each take a stab at answering as clearly as possible. As always, we’ve included the voices of children in every episode, and let me tell you, those conversations were some of the best parts of 2025 for me so far.

Each episode in season two features a question real parents have asked about kids and church.
